WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – Two neighborhoods, two armed FBI raids.
It all went down in Whitehall Township.
An FBI spokesperson says agents were conducting court authorized law enforcement activity, but wouldn’t say what kind of activity.
State police confirm they provided support personnel.
Julie Fedon lives near the 2100 block of Columbia Avenue where one of the raids happened.
She says around noon she heard someone on the loudspeaker.
“I heard my muffled bullhorn come out of the house, and I looked out the window up that way and I saw the agents, it looked like they had FBI on their vests,” Fedon said.
Neighbors say they saw two women and a young man come out of the house, but don’t know what became of them.
Hours later, agents continue to go in and out of the house.
About a half-mile away, over on 3rd Street, a similar scene played out.
“I was like what the heck is going on over here,” said Jerry Weed.
Weed lives near 3rd Street. He says he was surprised to see FBI agents flood the street.
He shot this video of armed personnel after he heard a loud boom.
“When I saw the heavy police presence and them redirecting traffic and even the neighbors we like they just went into that how and I was like oh my gosh,” said Weed.
